Training sessions included in the reasoning cognitive training Packages
Training session | Task | Main outcome measure |
---|---|---|
Reasoning 1 | Use weight relationships, implied by the position of two seesaws with objects at each end, to select the heaviest object from a choice of three. | Total number of correct trials across the two runs. |
Reasoning 2 | Select the “odd one out” from four shapes that varied in terms of color, shape, and solidity (filled/unfilled). | Total number of correct trials across the two runs. |
Reasoning 3 | Move crates from a pile, each move being made with reference to the effect that it would have on the overall pattern of crates and how the result would affect future moves. | Total number of correct trials across the two runs. |
Planning 1 | Draw a single continuous line around a grid, planning ahead such that current moves did not hinder later moves. | Number of problems completed in three minutes. |
Planning 2 | Move objects around between 3 jars until their positions matched a “goal” arrangement of objects in 3 reference jars. | Total number of correct trials across the two runs. |
Planning 3 | Slide numbered “tiles” around on a grid to arrange them into the correct numerical order. | Number of problems completed in 3 min. |
This table was taken and modified from Corbett et al. (2015). All sessions consisted of two 90 s “runs.”
